The results of ranking the leading causes of death are subject to the cause categories used. The broader the cause categories used, the more likely they will rank among the top leading causes of death.

According to the estimates in The world health report 2004, there were 57 million deaths in the world in 2002. The broad category of all "noncommunicable diseases" killed 33.5 million people; communicable diseases, maternal and perinatal conditions, and nutritional conditions killed 18.3 million people worldwide; and external causes of injuries killed 5.2 million people.

When analysing at disaggregated level, the following are the leading causes of death:


No. Cause Estimated number of deaths (in millions) Percent of all deaths
1 Ischaemic heart disease 7.2 12.6
2 Cerebrovascular disease 5.5 9.7
3 Lower respiratory infections 3.9 6.8
4 HIV/AIDS 2.8 4.9
5 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 2.7 4.8
6 Perinatal conditions 2.5 4.3
7 Diarrhoeal diseases 1.8 3.2
8 Tuberculosis 1.6 2.7
9 Malaria 1.3 2.2
10 Trachea, bronchus, lung cancers 1.2 2.2
11 Road traffic accidents 1.2 2.1
12 Diabetes mellitus 1 1.7

AIDS

gamma rays cause all the diseases. nasa is sending a satellite in the future to measure and shield earth.

Rabies, 99.8% mortality rate once infected and not treated. More than Ebola, more than Marburg. Once left untreated, there is NO cure, NO treatment. Results of recent new treatment options such as putting the victim into a coma have been mixed, two young children lived, a teenager who had been exposed over 6 months in the past died.

Cardiovascular diseases account for 29.34% of total deaths.
Causes of death in developing countries are HIV/AIDS and in developed countries is ischemic heart disease. Among infectious diseases, lower respiratory infection causes highest mortality.

Lots of diseases.

Rabies and Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (similar to mad cow) have 100% mortality, just off the top of my head.
